In the early morning hours, Detective Craig Walker is awakened by a phone call informing him of yet another murder. This victim, like two others the previous week, was found with her throat slit and a number scrawled across her forehead. There is no longer any reason for him to doubt there is a serial killer on the loose in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. Even though each murder had two things in common, there were confusing differences which made him wonder whether there was one killer, or a network using a standard M.O.
While the anomalies in each victims’ wounds can be explained, the different number sequences written in black marker on their foreheads leave Detective Walker, his partner Silvia Jacobson, and consultant Detective Jim Malone perplexed. A breakthrough comes from an unlikely source when a woman is brought in for street solicitation, yet more victims keep coming as the layers of the killer’s agenda are peeled back, revealing the crimes he believes he is righting. For Detective Walker though, things are about to get personal.
